Exchange Participant's Investment
In order to trade through the HKATS environment, at least one pair of SDNet lines
with modems and routers, one switch, and LAN connection cable(s) are needed.
Exchange Participant can choose to connect to HKATS through central gateway
and/or network gateway.
The following system configuration is suggested for CLICK workstations:
CLICK Workstation Note 1
Hardware Requirement
1. Intel® CoreTM i3-550 3.2 GHz (or higher)
2. 4 GB RAM
3. Hard disk with at least 10 GB disk space available
4. 8 MB video memory (or more)
5. 21" monitor with 1280 x 1024 resolution (or higher)
6. Ethernet network adapter (supporting 100/1000 Mbps with full duplex)
7. CD/DVD-ROM drive
8. Mouse & US-keyboard
9. Sound blaster & loud speaker (optional)
Software Requirement
1. Microsoft Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (Service Pack 1 or later) (English)
2. Anti-Virus software
Note 1
Other comparable configuration may also work, which is subject to further verification.
Network gateway is required for CLICK workstation.
Switch Note 2
1. Provide at least eight (see Note 2 below) 10/100/1000 BaseT RJ-45 connections
with UTP (Cat 5 cable) to PC, network gateway and SDNet routers at each
Exchange Participant’s site.
2. Conforms to IEEE 802.3(x) Ethernet standard with capability for 10/100/1000 BaseT
auto-negotiation.
3. Can be managed through SNMP.
4. Able to support telnet-based or terminal-based out-of-band management is an
advantage.
5. Switch port connecting SDNet routers and network gateway must be configured as
100/1000 Mbps full-duplex mode. Auto-negotiation is required for 1000 BaseT.
Note 2
Exchange Participants should use switches which comply with the above specification and
industrial standard. Exchange Participant may consider purchasing additional switches for
better redundancy and port capacity when deemed appropriate.
If the switch is connected to Exchange Participant’s own internal network, Participants should
ensure that network loop will not be created. In addition, Participant should ensure that there
is no network address conflict. Three ports will be taken up by the two SDNet routers and the
Network Gateway while the remaining ports are for Click Trade and OAPI application
connections. If more connections are anticipated, the procured switch should provide more
RJ-45 connections.
Since SDNet circuits of different site are using the same HSRP group, Participants are
reminded not to connect SDNet circuits of different site on the same layer-2 LAN. If switch
will be shared among sites, it should be separated by VLAN.
Ref: 150424
Two Straight Cat 6 UTP cables
1. Connection between the routers and the switch.
2. The cable standard and wiring must meet the TIA 568-A/UTP Cat 6 standard.
3. The Cat 6 UTP cables should be of sufficient length and comply with the above
standard.
4. If the Exchange Participant purchases additional switch, please ensure there are
additional cables for cascading the switches.
Power Sockets (13A)
1. Sufficient for 2 routers, 2 modems and 1 (or 2) switch.
2. Sufficient for network gateway and CLICK workstation(s).
Network Gateway Note 3
1. 2 x six-core Xeon 2.8 GHz or faster processor
2. 12 GB RAM or more
3. 2 x 73 GB mirror local disk (or more available hard-disk space)
4. CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive
5. Ethernet network adapter with 10/100/1000 BaseT Full Duplex (auto-negotiation
required for 1000 BaseT)
6. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5
7. Symantec AntiVirus Note 4
8. OMex Genium subsystems
Note 3

Note 4
Exchange Participant (EP) who desires to install more than the allowed maximum
number of CLICK workstations at any location, or who are using multiple APIs per
workstation, or who decides to have trading workstations located at different locations
will need to acquire additional sets of SDNet lines with routers and modems, switch and
network gateway.
Note 6 EP
is responsible for maintenance renewal for gateway hardware & software, and switch
purchased and owned by EP.
